To the Editor:
At Monday's BOS meeting (2/2/20,) I had requested that the following be read into the record, regarding expenditures to widen the Beach St. sidewalk, and add bump outs to the Washington/Sea St. intersection.
It was not.
To the Board Of Selectment:
How much clearer can the voices be???
AGAIN, abutters and taxpayers oppose the frivolous expenditure of our money on projects not fully evaluated, nor deemed a priority for the Town.
AGAIN, a deadline for spending grant money drives poorly conceived street and sidewalk approvals; a dynamic that should be an embarrassment to the Board.
AGAIN, I am at a loss to understand why the BOS risks a significant measure of its credibility by insisting on these costly, unplanned boondoggles while the sea consumes our shores.
